Railroad Disaster In Canada.

Last Friday evening at st. Thomas,
Ontario, occurred a most appalling rail-
road disaster in which nineteen lives
were lost and forty persons injured. A
Michigan Central freight train was
pulling out of the yard as a regular
excursion train for Port Stanley ap-
preached with ten coaches literally
packed with people. The engineer of the
passenger train tried to apply the air
brakes but they refused to work, and
the engine plunged into the freight
train that was loaded with tanks of crude
and refined OIL Almost before the pas
sengers heard the crush of the collis-
ion it was followed by tremendous ex-
plosioD, which could be- heard for
miles. A pyramid of red fire aud black
clouds of smoke shot into the air aud
in moment sheets OF fire reached out
and enveloped the cars, dwellings and
warehouses in the vicinity. When the

manholes from the top, and but mo-
ment elapsed before the oil was in a blaze
and the roaring of the flames could be
heard all over the city When the coils
ion occurred the engine bent, swayed
and surged for moment and, finally
turning partially over, fell to the
ground on the other side of the car.
Then shot up a column of flame through
the black smoke and cinders that was
visible twenty five miles away, accom-
panied by a roar overpowering all other
sounds. The car next the engine was
the only one wrecked. Almost Immedi-
ately after the crash shower of blazing
oil fell on this car, and in an instant
the coach was in blaze from one end
to the other. 1t is thought that there
were twenty people in this car, and OF
these only one is known to have es-
capped. The burning oil scattered around
in all directions, setting fire to all build
ings in the immediate vicinity. The
loss of property is about $4,000.

"Goin' a Berryin'."

Young people, whose lives are spent
in cities, have no idea of the fun their
country fellows have in ''goin' ber-
ryin',n as it is sometimes called. In
deed, it has appeared to me that our
country boys and girls did not make
all they might out of il. They can
collect all that can be used at home,
fresh. dried, or preserved, and enough
besides to bring quite good sum in
the way of pocket money, if sold;
besides all thfs-the fun! The way to
get the most fun is to hold berrying
picnics, where a jolly, not too large
party make day of it. Such hunting
for the places where the fruit is thick
est, such laughter at the tears and
scratches, and the rivalries as to who
will gather the most fruit, make day
pass joyously. Wild strawberries
WAS there ever such fragrance and
fiavorp 1t is many, very many years
since | attended a strawberrying pic
mic, but the exquisite odor of those
wildings of the fields, and the bright
faces and ripping laughter. are as
distinct in my memory as if that happy
day had been but five instead of fifty
years ago. AiNertcGR Agrfcnuursss.

Trees as Sanitary "PoInters."

Trees are often useful guides to the
selection of residences. Numerous
trees with rich foliage and rank I'M
dergrowth of ferns or moss indicate a
damp, stagnant atmosphere; while
abundance of flowers and fruit imply a
dry sunny climate. Children will be
hcalthiest where most flowers grow,
and old people will live longest where
our common fruits ripen best. as these
conditions Of vegetation indicate a
climate which is least favorable to
bronchitis and rheumatism.
Pines and their companions, the
birches, indicate a dry, rocky, sandy,
or gravel soil; beeches, a dryish,
chalky. or gravel soil; eIms and lines,
a rich and somewhat damp soil: oaks
and ashes, heavy clay soil. and pop
lars and willow, a low, damp. or
marsh soil.
Many of these trees are found grow
ing together, and It is only when one
species predominates in number and
vigor that it is truly characteristic Of
the soil and that portion of the atmos-
phere in connection with it,

Salisbury Close.
sINcH

Salisbury Cathedral was my first
love among all the wonderful ecclesias-
teal buildings which / saw during my
earlier journey. looked forward to
seeing it again with great anticipations
of pleasure, which were more than
realized.
Our travelling host had taken a whole
house in the Close,--a privileged enc
closure, containing the cathedral, the
bishops palace, houses of the clergy,
and limited number of private resi-
dences, one of the very best of which
was given over entirely into the hands
Of our party during our visit. The
house was about as near the cathedral
As Mr.. Flowers house, where we stayed
at Standardization, was 20 the
Church of the Holy Trinity. II was
very completely furnished, and in the
room assigned to me as my library /
found books in various languages,
showing that the residence was that Of
q scholarly person.
If one had to name the apple of the
eye of England, think he would be
likely to say that Salisbury Cathedral
was as near as he could come to il,
and that the white of the eye was Sails
bury Close. The cathedral is sur
rounded by high wall, the gates of
which-its eyelids-are closed every
night at seasonable hour, at which
the virtuous inhabitants are expected
to be in their safe and sacred quarters.
Houses within this hallowed precinct
naturally bring a higher rent than
those of the unsanctified and unpro-
tected region outside of its walls. tits
arealm of peace, glorified by the divine
sdifce, which lifts the least imaginative
soul upward to the heavens its spire
seems trying to reach; beautiied by
rows of noble elms which stretch high
aloft, as if in emulation of the spire;
beatified by holy memories of the good
and great men who have worn their
lives out in the service of the church
Of which it is one Of the noblest
temples. Oliver Wendell Holmes IN

Trade business but il it was totally

not see that anything other than great
good would result from il. The deal
ers would, as q general thing come

certainly such excitement as comes
from dealing in options, where whole

of the ideal, !" must make men old long
before their time.
Chicago is an enormous city. Like
age it grows on one the more famil-
lar he becomes with it. Many of the
teachers from the Eastern United States
confessed TO the limited idea that they
had entertained in regard to its size
and buildings. Their idea seemed to
be that it was new and largely built of
lumber, and contained but few buildings
of solid worth. This is another evil
dence that people do not travel enough,
seeing is believing and the only way to
bneW about country or place in the
full sense of the word, is 10 see IT, IL
people travelled more east and west,
north and south, the foundations of our
government would be more secure.
Who can say that more railroads and
more and cheaper facilities for travel
from one point to another, to confer
ences and associations Of various kinds,
unseltish in their organization, do not
do more for the unity OF the nation
than all the politicians and would be
statesmen in it?
